Phenom 9850be, unsure of the mobo, and a 1gb 4870 - more than likely sapphire or asus dark knight if the egg would just stop changing prices on me so much! lol I put stuff in my cart, the next day it's changed...

looking good, I had a 9850 and I currently have a 4870, hit around 15,500 in 3dmark, overall excellent system. You'll be very happy

right now it's a solid 350 (gifts from parents for bday and xmas) and I'm expecting anywhere from 50-100 more, and I'm sure I can sweet talk my wife into a few extra dollars for the hell of it... if she's in a good and giving mood had everything I wanted in a shopping cart and after rebates was like $417 ... then the combo ended, and the $5 off the processor went away, lol

haha, it happens dude. Bro why don't you get like a 4850, save a few bucks, its still a great card, runs anything you throw at it. Later down the road if you want more performance out of your video card, if you spare some money, you add a 2nd one

Plus a overclocked 4850 i'm sure can perform par on par with a untouched 4870, if not more. I would think so.

well I'm thinking get as best as I can for what I can... 4870 1gb is better stock than the 4850's and I figured it's a bit more future proof for now... don't plan on oc'ing it
